Ki Sung-Yueng impressed on loan at Sunderland last season[STUART ROBINSON]

Lambert and his team fly out to the United States for their pre-season tour on Saturday and he would ideally have the 25-year-old on board by then.

Villa’s hand is strengthened by the fact Ki is out of contract in 12 months and their squad is now a midfielder down after the exit of Yacouba Sylla to Turkish side Kayseri Erciyesspor on a season-long loan yesterday.
